Protagonist - Charge (The Chronicle) lyrics

rate me

Why did you trade your heroes for ghosts, <br />

As you slammed your fist against the post?<br />

We charge the mountain top to dance our last dance.<br />

Sometimes in this life<br />

Your first chance might be your last.<br />

If you look into these destined eyes, <br />

You'll see a soul that never sleeps.<br />

<br />

There will always be an urge to look back; <br />

At the repository of what was, <br />

And the dreams that could have been.<br />

<br />

The chronicle continues on, <br />

Some things are more than just a phase.<br />

These words become immortal<br />

Guiding us through the dark and somber days.<br />

I've seen friendships fail and I've seen my heroes fall.<br />

When we watched others get left behind<br />

We answered the call<br />

<br />

Some say this is a part of growing old, <br />

I say you suckers are too easy to give in.<br />

<br />

I still remember those nights<br />

Playing anthems of hope and rage.<br />

When we played hard, we played fast, we played together.<br />

You never know the road until you walk the road alone.<br />

They see a broken kid, I see a broken world, <br />

How can we sustain all this hope and rage?<br />

<br />

Did you trade your heroes for ghosts, <br />

As you slammed your fists against the post?<br />

We don't sing swan songs, <br />

We don't bow at curtain calls.<br />

<br />

The chronicle continues on, <br />

Some things are more than just a phase.<br />

Those nights will live forever, <br />

They mean more to me than anything.<br />

We rise up through these ruins<br />

And build our brand new castles.<br />

Only when everything is lost<br />

Is when you can truly begin.
